| Jan 4, 2021 at 19:08 | comment | added | TylerH | @Rayllum TBH I think what weighed more on the mods' decision was the fact that was a very hot question, in every sense of the word. A charged, sensitive topic, with charged language and very pointed answers on way or another, getting lots of activity. Mods on any site tread lightly in such situations, so any opportunity they get to cull discussion or say 'take it elsewhere', they usually take that opportunity. :-) | |
| Jan 4, 2021 at 19:06 | comment | added | Rayllum | To be clear on my first sentence in my most recent comment: I am not against a good discussion, but (as we all know), that would be more fitting to another place e.g. chat. | |
| Jan 4, 2021 at 18:52 | comment | added | Rayllum | @TylerH I didn't repeat my comments here, because I wanted to prevent a discussion about my points. If it is of interest, my 6 points looked at the following aspects, respectively: 1. Understandability of the answer 2. Disagreeing about some of the content 3. Understandability of the answer 4. Disagreeing about how to communicate 5. Understandability towards Lemon 6. Disagreeing about how to communicate | |

| Dec 29, 2020 at 20:06 | comment | added | Someone_Evil Mod | @TylerH We don't do it uncritically though I can see how my answer can read that way. Most of the comments there were just disagreeing with the answerer on various points, not usefully pointing out a criticism or which otherwise deserve to stand despite disagreement. | |
| Dec 29, 2020 at 19:56 | comment | added | TylerH | Granted, I don't know what suggestions OP made, specifically, so I can't say for sure if they were worthwhile in their own right. But as a standard, considering comments as NLN just because the intended recipient disagrees with them is dangerous and harmful, in my opinion (and I say that as someone who has flagged (helpfully) many thousands of comments across the network as NLN). | |
| Dec 29, 2020 at 19:54 | comment | added | TylerH | Good answer/explanation of the reasoning, but it's a bit concerning that this is the interpretation being applied; criticisms/counter-suggestions to specific answers are usually not substantive enough to exist as their own answer, but do hold value even if an answerer chooses not to implement them. If someone has a misunderstanding in their answer or an incorrect claim, etc. that is pointed out by a comment, and refuses to acknowledge it, the comment can stand as a beacon for discerning/unsure readers "OK, this commenter also identified this error; I'm not imagining it/the first to see it". | |
